How Much Can Sly Stallone Bench? What's His Stat's??

Always wanted to know this. I know he's strong and has somewhat of a good body for 60 years but he's a small guy. At least that's what someone told me. Anyway, i'd like to know his stats, like how much he can bench and ****.

there was an article in the newspaper the other day about him being busted for bringing illegal supplements to Australia. i guess he had some sort of growth hormone stuff with him when he flew in and that's considered importing contraband.

to answer your question, i don't know his stats, but he's a strong guy for a 60 some yr old. he was pretty mean and lean in that last Rocky movie.

I think he tore his pec doing 400 when he was having a bench off with Franco Columbo (or something). I assume that would be around his max. No idea on his current #s. He's in great shape, but probably a lot less.

"Stallone claims to have been able to bench press 385-400 lbs and squat 500 lbs in his prime. While in a bench pressing contest with former Mr. Olympia Franco Columbu, he severely tore his pectoral muscle and needed over 160 stitches on it. This is why one half of his chest is more veiny than the other."

It happened around 1979-1980 so it must have been while preparing for Rocky II since his chest looked fine in the first one. You can really notice the tear in 3 and 4 where the guy is seriously ripped.

"The 60-year-old American actor, who had been in the country to promote his latest film, Rocky Balboa, faces a charge of importing a banned substance after airport staff found 48 vials of the hormone Jintropin in his luggage."

When I first heard about this, they said "illegal supplements". This forum has a thread on supplements that have been seized by Australian customs http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...ight=Australia
so I wasn't sure if they were blowing it out of proportion or not. Apparently not. Looks like he was trying to maintain his Rocky muscles for filming John Rambo.

You can kinda notice it in judge dread too.

"I'm worried about deadlifts too. I mean the word "dead" has got to be in there for a reason. Are you sure they won't kill me?" - olympic

If you noticed, they never really showed him "squatting" that weight. The cameras seemed to focus more on his upper body during the lift, but anytime it showed his knees, it was at best a 1/4 squat.

Anyway, he is in phenomenal shape for any age, but especially at 60, regardless how he got there.

Yeah, it is Hollywood after all so some tricks were involved. And it's not like IFBB pros haven't used fake plates for the camera before

Like you said, for 60 the guy looks great, regardless of what he used. I don't think enough people appreciate just how hard it must be to pull it off at that age. Everyone thought he was going to embarrass himself but he went out in style.

Yep, it's a great finale. Reminded me a whole lot of the first couple of films, and definitely made up for the fifth one.

For me it was the best since the first. Perfect bookend so to speak. The ones in the middle, especially 3 & 4, were more novelty movies, although still fun. Anyway I left feeling really pumped to train and get really fit again after spending a month on the sidelines
